    Marula known also as Umganu, Mupfura, Tsua, Morula, Mng’ ongo, Mafula, Nkula and Ol-mangwai is a popular African tree distributed across many African countries. The leaves, stem bark, root and fruit are used extensively in food and traditional medicine. The leaves are consumed in the form of tea and offer several health benefits, whereas the bark is used to treat a wide range of ailments from diarrhoea to haemorrhoids. The tree’s drought resistance capabilities make it ideally suited to Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. This tree also holds several spiritual and religious uses across the continent. In this video, we get to explore the 15 interesting uses of this tree.

    Very intresting, in Namibia marula tree is called omwoongo, once the fruit is ripe it turns from green to yellow that's when we extract marula juice both alcoholic and non alcoholic, oil. Keep up the good work , we are learning a lot.

    Just to add that the fruits are also detoxifying when eaten also we used to make a drink which can make ppl drunk-animals also like the fruits of it and they get really drunk as well, thankyou very much for reminding us.and goats eat the whole fruit then when they poop we would take the marula seed and crush it to get the nut ,very tasty !

    Interesting what you say about talking to the tree to show it respect before harvesting from it. Some tribes do the same with the acacia tree when extracting boswellia or gum arabic I think. I am learning more from you than I ever learned at school here in Zimbabwe.
